Quinoa with Mushrooms and Onions

Are you familiar with quinoa?  It's an amazing little seed that acts like a whole grain.  It contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein.   It's also gluten free!  

Lucky for you, I have a recipe featuring quinoa to share.  It's a simple, delicious, whole foods plant based meal.

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups water
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
2 onions, chopped
1 8 ounce package of mushrooms, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 cup water
1/3 cup nutritional yeast

1.  Place uncooked quinoa and 2 cups of water in a pot.  Cook on high.  Once it boils, turn temp to low and simmer with lid on for  15 - 20 min, or until liquid is absorbed.

2.  In a large skillet or wok, cook onions in oil at medium heat until caramelized.  Add mushrooms to skillet to saute for the last 10 minutes. 

3.  Add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, 1 cup of water, and the nutritional yeast and stir well.

4.  Last, add quinoa to the skillet and stir until all ingredients are well blended.
